After the certification training my colleague referred to this as the "forklift snuff film".

Far Cry New Dawn has motorbikes with sidecars, but no straight motorbikes.

Both it, and Far Cry 5 that it is a sequel to also have quad bikes.

Potentially neither of these quite count, for the purpose you're asking the question?

"Surveillance-minded" (hereafter, "Helicopter") parents were almost certainly already doing that.

It just required a sharp knife and a tube of contact adhesive previously.

Thanks for the heads-up, added the internet archive torrent to seed up to 25MB/s

Having had one for almost our cats' entire lives, I can confirm that they do not.

It also creates something of a pavlovian response; it doesn't matter if there's still food in the dispenser's bowl or he's literally just eaten, the sound of more biscuits dropping is enough to make him absolutely hoof it in the direction of the feeder. Sometimes doesn't even eat anything, just has to run over to it.

Without having read the article, lemme guess... Electron.

Maybe now that no-one can afford RAM these companies might get motivated to do something about that. Hell, I'd accept them just feeling shamed into not being the worst memory hog on your system at this point, over any altruistic reason.

See also: Discord and Slack, two other colossal wastes of space that use an order of magnitude more RAM than a native app would while running slower and providing absolutely zero other benefits.

Seriously.

Open-plan office dwellers everywhere: "Tell me more about this 'cubicle'. Walls, you say?"

Honestly, I'd consider it.

If I was in the middle of a job and was about to run out of something, I'm looking at downing tools for a minimum hour round trip to the nearest (decent) hardware store.

There's a good chance someone starting closer to the store can get that down to 35-40 minutes, and I can carry on working in the meantime.

Now "normal", perhaps not, but unreasonable also perhaps not?

As it's most often seen on news sites - where scrolling too far gives you another article - a handful of reasons.

One: there are frequently still links (think "about us" / "contact us" kind of pages) in the footer that you might need to access, which you can invariably now never reach, because as soon as they're in view they're replaced by more content.

Two: as the parent poster so accurately put it, "fucking with the browser history". It becomes entirely indeterminate whether the back button now returns to the previous site, or just goes back by one piece of content.

Three: the new content is almost certainly unrelated to the page I started on, and not of any interest to me.

But also at regular checkouts.

You've just stood there motionless for the last 4 minutes, while someone else (potentially two people) scanned and bagged your purchases for you.

How is it that JUST NOW is the time you've decided is right to rummage through your bag for your wallet/purse, or check your banking app on your phone to see if the account actually has money in it? What were you doing for the rest of the time that was so vitally important?

I swear you can just about hear the birds flying around in their head sometimes.

Congratulations on a successful one nightstand!

(seriously, looks great)

I feel like this opinion piece from last week really captures his essence

I knew one day I’d have to watch powerful men burn the world down – I just didn’t expect them to be such losers.

This was about the only non-tabloid source I found, though they're just quoting the other article.

I don't want to get into a text editor war - because these are all good options - but it's definitely also worth giving the "Kate" editor from KDE a go, it's available as a native Windows app from the MS store and everything:

https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9NWMW7BB59HW

I personally find it considerably nicer to use than Notepad++, and it means I don't have to give up 25 years of muscle memory for keyboard shortcuts when I have to switch to a windows machine.

Also some crazy how, it uses less RAM than Notepad‽ (With no files open, 61 vs 71MB) Not sure what Microsoft are up to, but it's definitely something strange.

I feel like "whatevs" is the default position of the capybara under the vast majority of circumstances, but your point still stands.

"Fun" fact: if you think it's slow normally (and to be fair, it is), NTFS seems to have a pathological performance regression when a directory contains more than 10,000 children, any operations on files in that directory slow down by around 95%.

I discovered this on our CCTV system at work (that runs on Windows Server 2022), which creates an inordinate number of small files (each containing at most a few seconds of video). It was causing some of its periodic maintenance tasks to fail, as they'd take longer to run than than the configured interval between them.

Windows also really doesn't like dealing with half-petabyte filesystems, just like... at all.

Money. Money is where it comes from.

Well of course people are upset, it clearly should say "one fewer" /s

If they're not going to concern themselves with legality when installing them, I don't see why we should have to concern ourselves with uninstalling them.

It's the only just and morally correct thing to do.
